Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

08/05 JD - Mancave edition


I have been terribly busy so far this summer doing stuff in relation to purchasing a home.  Now that I finally found a place, most of my time has been spent furniture shopping, and pouring over decorating books, sites, shows, and images.  Thank God this is happening during the off season and not during the season causing me to miss any games.

 

Well I recently came across something I was really interested in a few years ago...MAN CAVES!  Now that I have my own house, what better way to express my manhood and my love for the Blazers than with a Blazers themed man cave. 

I envision my man cave to include a grey painted concrete flooring with paint specs and a Blazers logo that will later be epoxied.  Then I can construct a shrine to house my memorabilia.  Of course the place will have a mounted flat screen with CSN so that I can hook it up to my computer and make a Blazers video vault to have all the games archived. 

Lastly, maybe a homemade custom poker table...also Blazer themed of course.


Anyone else love mancaves?

Someone just got a write up of sorts at work.

I had to laugh. The op dropped an item when using one hand to position it. The write up stated that because they did not use 2 hands they doubled the chance that they my drop it, LOL.
I’ve never used 2 hands for that maneuver and never dropped anything.
So what if you were really good with your feet and hands, does that mean you quadrupled your chance of dropping it because you only used one hand verses a guy who never uses his feet for anything.
I used to drive 20 miles to work and never touch the steering wheel just for fun.

True story heard it on CNN
Robot attacked Swedish factory worker
The Local ^ | 7/29/2009 | The Local

Posted on Wednesday, July 29, 2009 5:44:36 AM by NMEwithin

A Swedish company has been fined 25,000 kronor ($3,000) after a malfunctioning robot attacked and almost killed one of its workers at a factory north of Stockholm.

Public prosecutor Leif Johansson mulled pressing charges against the firm but eventually opted to settle for a fine.

“I’ve never heard of a robot attacking somebody like this,” he told news agency TT.

The incident took place in June 2007 at a factory in Bålsta, north of Stockholm, when the industrial worker was trying to carry out maintenance on a defective machine generally used to lift heavy rocks. Thinking he had cut off the power supply, the man approached the robot with no sense of trepidation.

But the robot suddenly came to life and grabbed a tight hold of the victim’s head. The man succeeded in defending himself but not before suffering serious injuries.

“The man was very lucky. He broke four ribs and came close to losing his life,” said Leif Johansson.

The matter was subject to an investigation by both the Swedish Work Environment Authority (Arbetsmiljöverket) and the police.

Prosecutor Johansson chastised the company for its inadequate safety procedures but he also placed part of the blame on the injured worker.

Love.

Thanks, I’m very aware of how critical I am of myself

but that awareness doesn’t seem to subside my inhibitions. And it may not seem that way to some because I’m always throwing my thoughts out there as though I freely say whatever I want. When in reality I cringe most of the time when I’ve hit the post button.
I’m hoping some day writing will become a little easier for me, and even use this forum to blow out a paragraph here and there, knowing that no one here is critiquing it in a way that should concern me.

Amazing presentation about Netflix's work policy

Not only they have an amazing vacation policy (take as much as you need), but also a very interesting work culture. If these principles are really upheld, that’s a nice place to work.

I assume they mean “take as much as you need – without pay”. I could basically do that too, as long as it doesn’t prevent projects I’m in from getting finished (e.g. I can’t say “yeah the deadline is in two weeks, see you in three”).

Adobe recently also gave everyone off a week twice, a) for saving some money and b) because people weren’t taking their holidays.

actually

i think they get paid, it’s just that as long as you perform and do your job (and don’t take the holidays right before a deadline of course), you’re free to take holidays. You don’t have to file them with HR, or adjust them to a certain period, etc…basically there’s no vacation policy. At least that’s what I could understand from the slideshow.

by medmelon on Aug 5, 2009 4:50 AM PDT up reply actions  

As I understand it the vacation policy applies only to the people who work at the main office

this doesn’t apply to the people at the local distribution centers that handle the incoming/out going discs.

We used to have a vacation policy that stated

the MINIMUM vacation was two weeks a year…the maximum was whatever you needed. there was no classification by number of years with the company.

Once we were acquired by a publicly helpd company it changed, but informally it still is take as much as you need….it’s between you and your supervisor.

And we have not yet had one person abuse it in out 15 years of existence.

We also have 2 kegs of beer on tap in the kitchen, but that’s another story….

I think I would rather donate to the Brandon Roy foundation, or the Duckworth foundation. Though not saying that the BFT doesn’t have very good intentions behind this.

I just finished watching the last episode of The Wire about a half hour ago

What a great show. There aren’t too many shows like that on. I never watched it when it was on (I was in college in the middle of its run, and dorms aren’t exactly cable friendly), but in the last few months I’ve watched the entire series and I love it. The last 2 or 3 episodes before the finale were as good as I’ve seen on tv.

I want Greg Oden to tuck me in at night and tell me stories about the old times

i dont want to be a jerk

but

The “pizza” we order from chains here in America is actually very far from the original flat bread peasant dish many Southern Italians and Sicilians used to make.

Pizza is bread piled high with whatever food people had left; because of the natural resources, things like tomatoes and seafood were the most common toppings.

pork , beef & cheese, etc.. all were/are luxeries that many Italians, when Pizza was ‘invented’ ,couldn’t afford to use/eat.

Last CC/J hoops game I saw was out at Jesuit. CC won, it was really close. Anyway, a crying Jesuit father yelled “Noooo! Nooo!” in extremely dramatic fashion. It was creepy.

There’s nothing wrong with Jesuit—Beaverton needs a private HS too, I realize this.

No I agree

Vaccinating only females doesn’t do much to stop the problem. There is always people that are not going to get vaccinated, so you might as well expand the population of eligible people to as wide as possible. The easiest way to do that would be to include males. I am saying this with no knowledge of what kinds of effects the vaccines have on males, though.

I think people that are against the vaccine are short sighted. They seem to be only focused on the “business time” aspect.

the early tests are that the risks are about the same as those for women

The risks however are more grave. HPV is being linked to higher risks of penil and prostate cancer…. As well as anal cancer ………. in men.

Kinda-sorta

Only 1 in 100,000 men in the U.S. gets penile cancer annually and the elevated risks of prostate and anal cancer for men from HPV exists solely for men who have anal sex with men. That’s not to downplay the significance of it for that population, but it’s a lot more important to vaccinate women for the effects on their health than it is to vaccinate men for that reason.

as if these insurance companies aren’t going to pay 50-70 times what it would cost to cover the vaccination for every woman that gets cervical cancer.

 The people who really make me mad in this whole debate are the social values conservatives who say giving the vaccine is tantamount to giving young girls a green light to have unprotected sex with anybody they want, because they’re not going to know the difference between “cervical cancer” and “every other STD out there, plus pregnancy”.

What happens if I am allergic to latex, or I cant take hormones and require hormone free birth prevention method? If so , those birth prevention methods are extrememly expensive (800.00 and up) .

Also, if you believe in birthcontrol, but believe that perhaps ‘life’ begins at the moment a sperm enters the egg , or even conception, then you should def. b against ALL forms of birthcontrol pills/prevention etc. b/c almost all birthcontrol methods/pills/hormones/inplants PREVENT a fertilized egg from inplanting…………………………………………………..

For all the forms of the Pill (except for potentially the morning-after pill but not necessarily) that I’m familiar with, this isn’t the case. BC works because it tricks your body into thinking it’s ovulated not because it prevents a fertilizing egg from implanting in the uterus.

No doubt about that

actually they do, if in case fertilization occurs

then it ALSO prevents inplantation into the uterine wall to occur.

I also feel like “pro life” is hilariously ironic. But anyway, I guess Im for choice of the mother and father. It’s a hard issues to stand on but the negative language like Arkitekts “suffer the consequences for 9 months” is more damaging in my opinion.

The evidence about oral contraception

interfering with uterine implantation as a secondary mechanism to prevent pregnancy can be generously described as murky. Most of the findings that HAVE found that effect have been agenda-driven, and I’m majorly skeptical of them. I don’t think it’s inconsistent to be pro-life (or whatever term you want to use for people who would restrict abortion rights) and pro-Pill, but we can agree to disagree on that.

I guess I'm one of them then

I’m the red-headed stepchild of the abortion debate…somebody who believes that life begins at conception and who is also unconvinced that restricting abortion rights would be a good thing.

That’s why I’m very pro-Pill and pro-condom — they keep abortions from happening. And I lack the moral certainty that “life” (and you could have a philosophical debate for the ages about just what that “life” entails) begins at conception, even though that’s my personal belief.

Restricting abortion rights would definitely reduce the number of abortions overall, but you’d get a nasty jump in back-alley abortion deaths and maimings, you know? And there’s NO doubt that those are very real lives that would be snuffed out. Even though it’s my personal belief that “life” begins at conception, I’m not convinced enough that I think it would be worth the real deaths — the ones that are indisputable.

I totally agree

I think if one is pro-life, one should be adamantly pro-condoms and -pill and should also support comprehensive sex education. Everybody wants to work to reduce the number of abortions, so take those common-sense steps to do it.

The global gag rule was also frustrating to me. If one identifies as pro-life, one should care about ALL life. The U.S. denying funding to countries whose health clinics performed abortions may have saved some fetal lives, if life does indeed begin at conception, but what about all the mothers and children who died from inadequate health care? Their lives should have counted too and they didn’t.

I know people who were jerks who went to Jesuit. I also know people who were jerks who went to public school. Some of my best friends never went to public school a day in their lives, and likewise for friends who never spent a second in private school. People of all kinds are everywhere.

To say “The kid is from Jesuit, he wouldn’t understand” is doubly ignorant and insulting. You act like Catholics are a monolithic group on abortion, which they’re not. And you dismiss an hour’s worth of nuanced discussion — one that dealt with a very sensitive subject but never became personal or bombastic, and oh, by the way, one that didn’t even involve you — because of the religious views espoused by the high school I attended?

That’s unfortunate. And it’s dumb. And in the future if all you have to contribute are comments dismissing me and my ideas — not on their merits, but because of things wholly unrelated to their content — I’d appreciate it if you’d keep them to yourself.

My point was in regards to what I believe should happen, not the realities of the world…. if ALL forms of birth control were cheap, then the abortion because of financial difficulties associated with pregnancy carries very little weight… the reality is what you described

i mean, that's the point on which 'pro lifers, aka anti choicers' stand upon

and Im sorry to presumptiously lump all of you together,is abortion kills an “unborn” child therefor it’s immoral and should be illegal. So, then in this case, all forms of contraception should be immoral and illegal as well. I guess I feel that if YOU have the right to decide, when,if and how your wife and you should conceive, I should have the right to make that same decision for myself.

Whoever said I was Pro-Life?

actually, I’m pro-choice-ishin my leanings… I don’t begin to believe I can dictate what others do…. that said though I don’t have any respect for people who view an unwanted pregnancy as an inconvenience and therefore terminate it. There are plenty of GOOD reasons to terminate a pregnancy (incest, rape, health of the mother, etc…) Lack of forethought and plannings isn’t one of them in my opinion

Im not sure all pregnancies outside the

examples you listed are specifically viewed as an inconvenience when the mother/father chose to abort it. This type of presumption is kind of damaging and I dont mean to attack you personally but make you recognize the damage language does to women specifically. There is really no way to ascertain what is going through one’s head when she/he decides to have an abortion. It’s important morally to respect other human’s decision, imho, as it is important to respect life as well as prospective life.
As far as saying you were “pro life” I guess I was assuming this based on some of your previous comments. I apologize for making that assumption.

That’s what the etc. was for… all the examples outside of what I specifically list that are not for “inconvenience”
.

all this started as a discussion on what they should teach/hand out in HS… in that idealized world I envisioned as part of that discussion, there is little reason for many abortions… Obviously this is not that world…

as far as “the damage language does to women specifically” I’m not sure what you are referring to here. If I used damaging language I apologize.

I agree, I respect their decision and their right to make it for themselves… but I may not respect their reasons for making the decision

Lastly, there are parts of this discussion where you arguthat a woman doesn’t have control of her own body… " and what would your marriage be like if your wife wasn’t allowed to chose birthcontrol" and parts where where you argue that it the womans body she can do what she wishes “What someone DOES with their OWN body is THEIR personal choice”… I don’t think you get to have it both ways.

I don’t subscribe to the notion of some kind of equality in this dance. The consequences clearly play out the difference: For the woman, the carrying and raising of even one child is a very costly project. This enormous difference between the situation of the sexes means there is an innate propensity for women to be far more cautious and discriminating then men, in choosing of a mate for procreation.

I agree education is the best tool, but we need also examine that which teach.

If her story is true

more power to her, and if it’s not, no judgment from me. If people want to have responsible sex before they get married, that’s cool. I’m just suspicious when a very attractive woman in an openly sexualized profession like Britney Spears or Adrianna Lima comes out and says, “Oh I’m staying a virgin till I get married, etc.” because there’s always a concomitant media frothing at the mouth. I didn’t know that about her back story though, that’s interesting.

Disagree

Part of the issue is that society views sex solely as a recreational past time and has been separated from its potential for creating offspring.

I agree with this sentiment, but I think if you want to follow it through, your best bet is to kill your television. Cultural musings freak me out. I don’t know how one would try to raise a child in the this day and age with the notion that sex has the potential to be a sacred and spiritual act.

Killing your television is definitely a good start

But to raise a child who believes that sex can be (or pehaps even should be) a sacred and/or a spiritual act will require the parents to do a lot of swimming against the current of popular culture. The parents will need to teach and re-teach these ideas in the home in both word and deed.

Will that be difficult? Yes, but nobody ever said that been a parent was easy.

I've done that too

The strangest stuff ends up in the fridge sometimes. I’ve also poured cereal into my coffee mug.

My favorite is when my husband pulled the milk out of the fridge and wasn’t sure if it had passed the expiration date, so he sniffed his watch. Some kinda weird brain confusion between checking the date and smelling the milk.

Not really, he instantly picked up 2 fouls and was sitting for much of the first quarter

He is active on defense like everyone trying to steal against some bigger Italians. And he mostly guards both forwards while playing SF/SG on offense.

what’s funny is we probably could have ended up with Sessions… and I do like his game. I think that Nate just wanted a veteran that he could lean on, and in the end, Hedo and Lloyd both filled the old vet role.

Now if only Mr. Miller could somehow teach Roy his post game… especially the up-fakes.

by Mortimer on Aug 5, 2009 4:20 PM PDT up reply actions  

wondering your perspective on this… is there enough room on the court for Miller to post up with Oden and LMA? I’ve heard differing opinions on it. I personally think that we’ll see a lot of Miller playing with Outlaw at the 4 and posting up backup 1s.

Its probably not something to do every time down the court

but to be able to have that in your bag of tricks to be used a handful of possessions a game would probably be beneficial.

by tingeyga on Aug 5, 2009 4:32 PM PDT up reply actions  

that is true. Also depends on the opposing PG. If it’s Aaron Brooks, I want Andre posting up early and often. Kidd? Not as much.

He doesn’t do it all the time, but about 12% of the time. Which is a lot for a point guard.

and he’s ridiculously effective when he does. He forces a double or gets a clean look at the rim most of the time.

optimism ftw

by Cablinasian on Aug 5, 2009 4:41 PM PDT up reply actions  

I agree with this

It is something we can go to when we need to or when we got a clear advantage by doing it.

The more guys who can score in the halfcourt and open court alike, the better. And having 4 guys who can post up but only one who NEEDS to post up (Oden) to score (aside from garbage buckets) is just fine in my book.

I always thought having guards who can post up is an underrated asset, since it usually is a mismatch, even if it is someone like Roy who is a good sized guard but not a gargantuan SG.

The more options, the better, as long as that person isn’t a one trick pony. If Dre needed to post up to be anywhere close to effective, and so does LMA, it could be annoying.

How dare you besmirch

the franchise’s single-game scoring record holder!! It takes true gumption to shoot 23 three-pointers in a game, Mortimer.

Moral courage.

The kind of moral courage not enough people show. You know what I mean? 23. Three-pointers. And he wouldn’t have made them — if it weren’t for me.

Damon stopped smoking that whacky weed. Because of me. And my fearless venture into the locker room with pee cup in hand.

They changed RULES because of me. I’m like Upton Sinclair.

You think Damon would have had the motivation to shoot all those threes without my intervention?

No.

And that’s why, when you think of Damon — don’t besmirch him. Because it’s not just him.

It’s me.

And the single-game scoring record that we "joint"ly share.

I could see

LMA taking his guy out to the wing to give room for AM to post up. GO cleans up weak side with LMA, Roy, and another (Nic/Rudy/Outlaw) as kick out shooters. This would work against smaller guards for sure.

Something like that :)

“N’importe quoi” is a fixed expression. You could translate it as B.S., or at least rubbish or “I don’t know what”. I like that he takes responsibility for screwing that up, but was able to still take the game over in OT. It reminds me a lot of Roy in that game against Houston after he screwed up, albeit not that dramatic but about as important. Losing that game would have been bitter for France.

His coach also lauded “two actions of great class” by Nic, the defense of the team, and Antoine Diot for closing out although not being satisfied with the inconsistent play of his team. Both Nic and Diot are born in 1988.

actually, one of the guys suggested

0.5 points per reception for a bit of balance between RBs and WRs

1.0 PPR seems to be ridiculously unfair, but 0.5 isn’t too bad. Thoughts?

yeah I like that quite a bit.

Otherwise AP is gonna kill every week. I think it will also mix up draft strategies a bit. I’ll have to think about when I should grab for Andre Johnson.

Last year, I reached with the third overall pick for Brady. My team was pretty much done after week one. The league went to a team called the Princesses…

by EvilKaramazov on Aug 5, 2009 3:19 PM PDT up reply actions  

ouch

when I see people taking Drew Brees in the top 5 I think of Brady last year.

I like the .5 PPR idea too, I think I’ll change the scoring and let everyone know so any dissenters can tell me before the draft.

breaking news
An Oregon man is $10,000 richer after winning the 2009 National Scrabble Championship in Ohio.

Dave Wiegand, of Portland, took first place Wednesday with 25 wins and six losses in the 31-game competition. It is the second time the 35-year-old Wiegand has claimed the national title.

His final match included words such as acini (a small saclike division of a gland) and nidation (implanted in the uterus) and wawl (to cry like a cat.)

Forty-two-year-old Nigel Richards, of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, finished second. Sixty-three-year-old Joel Wapnick, of Montreal, Canada, was third.

Nearly 500 players from 40 states and several countries competed for five days in Dayton. Competitors ranged in age from 10 to 92.

Love.

It was based on the book “Word Freak” (I think that’s the title) written by the guy who covers sports for the Wall Street Journal. The book was pretty entertaining.

the Richter scale

is a measure of amplitude at the surveying station relative to the epicenter

Horozontal movement vs vertical movement

Can produce the same numbers on the Richter scale and feel much different on the surface,maybe wave frequency would be a better word

wouldnt you have to have a richter

scale that was perpendicular to the ground to measure vertical displacement?

Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.

by jonestr on Aug 5, 2009 4:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

displacement is not really the issue except when

Vertical movement faults cause tsunami’s.horozontal faults tend to produce "rolling " type movement some what like the snaking effect you get when you shake a garden hose. Vertical faults[there are several types so this is a generalization]tend to have more of a ringing a bell slammer effect

by southern oregon on Aug 5, 2009 4:27 PM PDT up reply actions  

but what I am asking

is how a richter scale, which is designed to measure horizontal displacements, would even measure vertical displacements.

If the richter scale measurese magnitudes it does so by measuring displacements so I dont see how that is not the issue

Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.

I will talk about DeJuan Blair no more forever

by jonestr on Aug 5, 2009 4:56 PM PDT up reply actions  

Vertical displacement eg high angle slip strike faults are quite real and record on the Richter scale

Horozontal displacement faults eg the San Andreas generally dont cause tsunami’s but seem to be overated in this system as far as in the sense that one 5.0 can do a lot more damage than another 5.0 part of this is soil type and part of it is an inherient flaw in the nevertheless very usefull Richter

by southern oregon on Aug 5, 2009 8:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

it seems like you might have trouble

extracting high precision vertical displacement information and may just get a rough magnitude estimate or only the info that a transverse wave was present.

Anyone else excited for Travis vs. Nicolas?

Travis is working on his game, and Nic has a much more active ball handling role on the French team than he has on the Blazers. I think Nic in time can create his own shots like Travis. He won’t be quite as athletic next season, but he makes pretty good decisions working around pick and pops/rolls with Diaw and Turiaf, and when to shoot and when to actually drive that are more reminiscent of Roy than of Travis. Add his good defense, and he should have a good chance to continue to start.

Then you can bring in Travis as a 4 to spell LaMarcus or as the 3 to spell Nic to give the opposition a bit of a different look, and Martell when healthy as an even better outside shooter. I really don’t see much of a need for a player like Battier that Dave loves so much. Maybe a Gerald Wallace, but that might rather hinder the development of Nic.

At the moment I would be more inclined to wait and see, and then maybe move someone next year (deadline or offseason) if the minutes crunch is too bad for a backup PF, a high draft pick, or something like that.
